This is the organization which administers benefits through the other organizations which actually provide them, such as Empire Blue Cross, Delta Dental, Davis Vision, and Wells Fargo. As an IATSE member, this is the organization you’ll work with for anything relating to your benefits.

In order to qualify for an interest-free loan up to $1,000, you must be a member in good standing (owing less than $100 for fewer than 60 days) and have been a member for at least one year. Call the office to have an application sent to you or stop in to fill it out. Once the loan is approved by the Secretary Treasurer, it is sent to Nusenda, our credit union. They contact you and work out the details of getting your the money. It generally does not take more than a day or two, but special circumstances can slow down the process. You have one year to pay back the loan before it goes into default. If a member defaults on a loan, the credit union makes itself whole from the collateral fund, and then the default amount is added to the member’s account with Local 480. A member who has defaulted on a loan is not eligible for another loan.
